Despot Saddam, who was President of Iraq from 1979 until 2003, was executed by hanging on December 30, 2006.

The dictator was toppled shortly after the United States and coalition forces, including Great Britain, invaded Iraq in March 2003.

A Redbridge Council spokesman said: “We didn’t give permission for this to be put up and it has been removed.”
